Digital cameras are terrible at resolving the red spectrum.

it's the same height at your older Y though, right?

Seems about the same as my Y. But the difference ends there. My Y feels much stiffer, and cabin is noiser. I can also hear and feel the road more. The new Model Y is just an all around better vehicle

after having driven the new 3 which is a giant upgrade from the prior one i'm not surprised at all that the new Y is likewise a giant upgrade.

I think it's downright tragic that many people will go out and buy any number of SUVs over the Y them being much inferior IMO.

​​​​​​ The majority are going to buy the Y, I think that's safe to assume

the Rivian looks better. Has a much better interior. Some things are worth more. The new Y looks fantastic, but the pre refresh Y is not a very stylish. Enthusiast passion tells me most would prefer the Rivian

While I agree, that program is as bit said way more money, and as expected way better.

Model X vs rivian r1s would be comparable, but I have to agree with you, i'd still take the rivian in that case.

One thing I forgot to mention, the new Y has added an additional Regen setting that allows you to reduce Regen braking. Standard and Reduced. I'm not sure if this setting is in my Model 3, but I'm sure if it's not, it will be pushed to it through an update
